'These results reinforce the exciting potential of our Mt Kare project,' said Indochine's CEO Stephen Promnitz. 'They complement the consistent drill results released previously and confirm that high grade gold/silver mineralisation extends from the surface in the BZ zone.

'We are continuing to work on high grade zones of this type in order to increase the project's resource. We expect to encounter further high grade and 'bonanza' zones at Mt Kare, based on a recent review by a consultant with considerable experience at the adjacent world-class Porgera mine.'

Indochine Mining Limited (ASX:IDC.AX - News) is a gold-copper exploration and development company. In Cambodia, it has the largest mining property holding in a country that has had very limited modern exploration, and is within a region known for world-class gold and copper deposits.

In Papua New Guinea (PNG), also known for large gold and copper deposits, Indochine holds an option over a major gold resource at Mt Kare. In Laos, potential exploration areas are being evaluated.
